I'm pretty sure the question infers that you're a capable swimmer in this situation. It's a question of who you would rather save.

Even if you are a capable swimmer, you aren't obligated to save someone from drowning.

And I just answered the question. Peep above.

Yes I do. I have had my dog since I was 12 and love him with all my heart, however it is a pet animal, so any human is worth more than it.

If you do not get this, I am very sorry sis.

Well, that's YOUR relationship. You don't know what relationship I have with my pet or any other person. As I've said before, my dog is literally a part of our family. I can honestly say my entire family would be devastated if something happened to him.
So, don't be telling me any human is worth more than my dog. Who are you to judge if a human is worth more? that human might be a vile, disgusting person. Does he deserve to live more than an innocent dog who is considered a part of a family as much as a child does?

A CHILD? you'd let a child drown? I can't wait till y'all have your own & their drowing & their last image is seeing mommy or daddy just watching them drown while they're on atrl.net.

I wouldn't let my child go swimming without me by their side. I'm not irresponsible. One reason why I've never had a pet die of anything but natural causes and old age, and have babsat many kids throughout my years on this planet. And did I say I would let them drown? No. Stop being overdramatic. You aren't some hero for saying this.

Sorry but I don't believe anyone who chose the dog would actually go that way if it ever really came down to it. If anyone actually ever did though I'd be perched for all the backlash and draggings they'd get. PerchedT.

idk, I would probably end up killing myself over guilt either way.

but in this scenario it's clear that you can 100% rescue someone and in that case you couldn't chose your dog over another human. in my country, at least.

We don't have this problem in America.

Hey Gurl Hey

I hate humans but I'd rather save a stranger's child. Children have a full life ahead of them whereas the dog is only alive for a short time. However it's still sad as ****

(d why did Please Be Naked come on let me go get my tissues)

Well, I can't sim so we would probably all die but I'd try to save the child's life.

I'd be totally devasted for my dog though, that'd be hard but I cannot not save the child.

Where are the child's parent though?

You can have an excuse like you went for your dog first but thena strong tide just swept the stranger's child away before you could save him too. Sorry kid.

You'll just be perched. I've literally spent thousands of dollars on my dog and she is like my child. I'm saving her lil ass over anyone's, child, grandma, auntie...whoever.

Also, I'm inclined to believe that the dog, child, and myself are alone in this scenario. So, how would anyone find out I saved the dog over the child? And if we're not alone in this scenario, why can't someone else help out?

There is enough people in this world already.

HOW, Sway? If you couldn't swim, you're not saving anyone or anything, period. How do you figure your no swimming behind is going to magically reach the child and then magically return the child to shore without YOU making it to shore as well?The dog, child, and yourself would all be dead.

why are you subjecting it to yourself though? you aren't the only human on the planet. & there are plenty of people who get put in this position because they put the child in the water & then turn around & forget the child is in the water or sometimes a child just curiously wonders into the water. you can have your eyes on then 24/7 but you're bound to slip up.

To say atleast I tried.
I rather die knowing that I did everything I could, than just let a poor defenseless child drown.

Who are you saying this too?

So, you would basically commit suicide?
